Wives of Policemen call for their husbands' protection

Kumasi, Aug. 13, GNA - Wives of policemen in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday went on a protest match in Kumasi to express their disgust at what they considered as wanton killing of police personnel in the cause of their duties.

The women, who wore mourning clothes, later converged at the Kumasi Central Police Station where they presented their grievances to the Regional Commander.

In separate interviews with the Ghana News Agency, the women called for protection for Police Personnel, especially those on patrol duties at night.
